Jon Prentice grew up in rural Western New York, spending most of his childhood playing in the woods and fields. He considers himself lucky to have grown up in the country and have a playground as big as a forest. His love for writing has been affected by the many years he spent struggling to read and write while in grade school. Learning a love for reading has been a journey that has lead to a love for writing. Mainly reading fantasy and fiction drew him into writing his own worlds and stories that he could enjoy not only himself but with others.
